BOTANICAL SUMMARY. 357 



Cistus monspeliensis, p. 226 : early in March the leaves are mined 

 by the larva of Urodeta cisticolella ; and, p. 230, early in March 

 the leaves are mined by a Nepticula-laiva. 



Helianihemum fumana, p. 234 : at the end of April the leaves were 

 blotched by the larva of Coleophora ochrea? A new species of 

 Coleophora, however, has just been bred by Monsieur Milliere 

 from Helianihemum tuberaria, the larva of which has a case very 

 like that of a young larva of Coleophora ochrea so that I cannot 

 feel quite so confident as I did that the larvae Mr. J. T. Moggridge 

 sent me from Albenga were truly those of Coleophora ochrea. 



CARYOPHYLLACEJE. 



Silene nicceensis, p. 219 : one larva and several pupae of Gelechia 

 figulella found at the roots of this plant, February 28th. 



-- , p. 221 ; the larvae and pupae of Gelechia provinciella found 

 freely at the roots of this plant, the leaves of which had evidently 

 been much eaten, February 28th. 



Saponaridj p. 98 : Coleophora saponariella on this plant. 



Qypsophila saxifraya, pp. 210, 220 : pod-like galls formed in the 



shoots of this plant in March by the larvae of Gelechia gypsophilm 



(see woodcut, p. 211). 

 Drypis spinosa, p. 98 : cases of the larvae of Coleophora drypidis 



collected in June on this plant. (At p. 98 I have copied Herr 



Mann's mistake and printed it Drymis.) 



Stellaria holostea, p. 113 : flowers frequented by the imago ofAsychna 

 modestella. Thanks to Dr. Hofmann the larva is now known to 

 feed in July in the capsules of that plant, using an empty capsule 

 as a moveable case. 



MALVACEAE. 



Lavatera olbia, p. 193 : leaves mined and gnawed in November and 

 December by the larva of Bucculatrioc lavaterella. This larva must 

 also feed on Lavatera maritima, as I took a specimen of the imago 

 at Mentone (p. 214), where L. olbia does not occur. 



Vitis vinifera, p. 310 : leaves mined in July by the larva of Antispila 

 Rivillei, which has not been seen for the last 120 years ! (See 

 Frontispiece, and woodcut, p. 309.) 



Ruta angusti folia, pp. 217, 235 : leaves twisted to form a sort of 



tubular habitation by the larvae of Depressaria rutana, in March at 



Monaco &c., in January at Rome. 

 Ruta yraveolens, p. 273 : leaves twisted by the larva of Depressaria 



rutana. It perhaps feeds on various species. Fabricius simply 



says (p. 296) it feeds on Ruta. 

 Dictamnus, p. 109 : larvae of Depressaria dictamnella on this plant.
